SOCOM: U.S. NAVY SEALS CONFRONTATION
Developer/publisher Slant Six Games/SCEA
Platform PlayStation 3
For its first appearance on a next-gen console (the PS3), this third-person tactical shooter is playing to its strength: online. Forsaking any kind of story mode, this multiplayer-only shootout will allow 32 trigger-happy gamers to team up against each other as special-forces teams from the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Spain, or France. They've added knife fighting (for those times when you want to get up close and personal) and a sprint button (for those times when you, um, don't). —Paul Semel
